Boltronoman looks nothing like Optimus. He looks almost identical to Mazinger


* "The Worm Turns": When the kids search up images of giant ice worms, they find a picture of a video game character called Boltronoman, who kinda resembles Optimus Prime from ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}''. It could also be a reference to other types of HumongousMecha franchises.

Fan Myopia. Accidental Misnaming is a very common trope in media, not just in Gumball. Also, "the worm turns" is actually an expression


** There is a RunningGag where Molly has a hard time getting Sadie Albert’s name right (calling her names like "Sarah Matthews" and "Sabrina Andrews"), and has to be corrected by Trini. This is similar to how Gumball Waterson has a hard time getting Rob's name right on ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball''.



** The name of Trini's cabbage plant, "Big Green", can make a reference to ''WesternAnimation/BigCityGreens''.



* "The Worm Turns":

Added DiffLines:

* In "A-maze-ing Snow", the scene where Trini (and later Tooey) become lost in the snow maze references the horror film ''Film/TheShining''. (Specifically, the scene at the end of the movie where Danny is being chased in the snow maze by his father Jack and Jack later freezing to death in the maze where Danny makes his escape out of the maze. As you can see, both scenes of ''The Shining'' and ''Molly of Denali'' episode ended up in the same predicament.)
* "Cabbagezilla":
** There is a RunningGag where Molly has a hard time getting Sadie Albert’s name right (calling her names like "Sarah Matthews" and "Sabrina Andrews"), and has to be corrected by Trini.

** The title of the episode is a reference to ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}''.
** The name of Trini's cabbage plant, "Big Green", can make a reference to ''WesternAnimation/BigCityGreens''.
